Item:311709380348Condition: please see image for any chips or fritting, Color: Blue, Maker: not known, Material: vitreous enamel fused onto sheet steel, Details: This is made from vitreous enamel fused onto sheet steel. Heavy gauge - unlike modern versions this one can't be bent easily. Very durable. Made around 1900. The white enamel is in bas relief, suggesting high quality craftsmanship and giving excellent definition. Surviving examples this age on the open market are exceptionally rare. I have around 300 similar examples all from properties in a street near Lyon in Rhône-Alpes, France yet to be listed. It will take me a while to list all - if you let me know your number then I'll have a look. Or it may be among others already listed on eBay UK. The second image of #500 shows that some have had a harder life than others. It is not included in this listing. 4" high 6" wide. This is the real thing from a real house in real France. Not a copy, not made yesterday. Around four thousand house numbers in stock at the last count - large, small, old, high, low, enamel, cast metal, bell metal, convex, flat, Danish, French, Australian, Japanese, German, Belgian, UK. Please let me know if this is not the number or style you require. But I have few numbers higher than #600. All numbers accurately described - I do not try and mislead customers by applying euphemisms such as "authentic" or "traditional" or "original" or "vintage" or "style" to pass off cheap repro items as the real thing.
